Dating During Bar Prep

My law school career is coming to a close. In about two months, for about 2 months, I'll be studying for the bar exam. I've been soliciting advice from friends on how to handle it, now I'm soliciting advice from my online friends.

One question has been bugging me- is there any point in dating this June and July? On on hand, I'm assuming I'm going to be crazy busy, and there isn't going to be much time for romance. On the other hand, I think I'll lose my mind if I don't have some distraction from bar prep.

Thoughts? Suggestions?

I think you should date. Bar prep is a marathon, not a sprint (and you just have to finish, not come in first) - so you should be putting in time every day, but not letting it overwhelm the rest of your life.

Bar prep can be summed up in two words: Practice questions. base everything on practice questions. Lectures are nice, but you need practice questions.

As for dating, what do you do before finals? You will need an outlet. Perhaps dating is it. Will you make a great impression on your dates? I got quite punchy after ten hours of bar prep and would have been even less charming than I normally am.
